LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — The Clark County Commission voted unanimously Wednesday to approve permits for the Athletics’ new baseball stadium in Las Vegas.
The approval marks another step in the Athletics’ relocation to Las Vegas, with the stadium meant to be built at the former site of the Tropicana Las Vegas hotel casino.
“This is another chance for us to do it all over again — to show people what we can build and what we can turn Las Vegas into,” said Tommy White, union leader for Local 872.
Jason Caldwell, president of the Henderson Little League board of directors, expressed gratitude to the Athletics organization for supporting youth sports and noted their monetary donations to local leagues.
Sandy Dean, interim Athletics president, discussed the team’s future in Las Vegas, including player signings for the 2028 season.
Wednesday’s meeting saw participation from community members, many of whom were donning Athletic gear in support of the team. Proponents of the stadium project said permits are expected to stimulate business growth around the former Tropicana site, further boosting the local economy.
Caldwell highlighted the Athletics’ role in supporting a local Little League team that traveled to the Little League World Series, emphasizing their commitment to youth sports.
Dean also thanked Marc Badain for his support and expressed anticipation for the team’s scheduled opening day in Las Vegas. Construction of the new stadium is anticipated to begin later in 2025 and be completed by 2028.
